Want to see some other RX's before the RX-8 hits the streets?

Come out and enjoy Texas' largest RX-only event!

The meet is back! The 2nd Rex's Across Texas Meet!

Of course this time we will be including the WRX's in the fun. So look for more action and more to see at this years event.

Ryker has done agreat job organizing this event and pulling everything together.

Thanks R.E. for everything that you have done and getting this thing put together so smoothly.

Date: March 22, 2003

Location: Austin, Texas


Times and places:

2:35 p.m. - Decide who wants to leave to the go-kart track

(We plan on dividing the group into 2 smaller ones so the track will be more fun for all.In addition to this the plan is to divide the two groups based on age. (Sending the 21 and over crowd to the track first so that way they will have time to go home and change if they want to head downtown for the evening.)

4 p.m. or possibly earlier - Gather remaining attendees and head to the track

My event in the fall will have some Miata's - see sig for basic details..

FWIW- if you know many Miata' owners , you know they don't play well with RX-s anyhow... (many of them anyhow)

I have tried to get co-meetings together off and on for years with them, and the interest level is low.

I've noticed that too, to some degree. In most local cases, there are enough Miata events to keep most Miata folk happy (most people only have so much free time), so there will be little interest in going outside of the group. And, alot of Miata owners are more Miataphiles than Autophiles. But mostly, it depends on which people you talk to.
